It is raining marks in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) and students of Class X have done very well in the CBSE results.
A total of 4043 students have appeared for the exams and for the first time, there have been no failures. However, 103 students have got compartmental, where they have failed in one subject. These students will sit for a retest in 3 months.
The pass percentage has also gone up by six per cent compared to last year. While Abhishek Sharraf from Laxmipat Singhania Academy has scored 97.2 per cent and is the probable topper from Kolkata, Preetha Saha from KV, Haldia has scored 97 per cent and has secured second position.
“Kendriya Vidyalayas all over the state have done consistently well and the credit goes to the teachers who have motivated the students,” said V. K. Shrivastava, assistant commissioner of KV schools in West Bengal, Sikkim and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
However, teachers feel that all schools have done well. “This year the checking was lenient and not only the KVs, but all schools have performed very well,” said Anindita Chatterjee of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan from where Sharmila Sinha has scored 96.8 per cent and is most probably the third candidate in the state.
KV officials obviously are thrilled to bits. “Unlike the private schools, we take in mediocre students and it feels great to see that many of them have scored over eighty per cent in the board exam. It is a big feet, considering the fact that many of the students are first generation learners in their families,” said Shrivastava. The KVs had taken steps to ensure a good result. “We conducted two centralised pre-board tests. Weak students got remedial teaching in school and had separate learning materials. To keep tab on the situation, we had three surprise inspections this year. Our excellent teachers also pitched in,” said P. Devakumar, education officer of the KVs.
